With player stylists and Gucci collabs, MLB eyes a fresh look with younger fans

Arizona Diamondbacks’ Corbin Carroll smiles after his home run against the New York Mets during the first inning of a baseball game Tuesday, July 4, 2023, in Phoenix. “MLB gave me a stylist for this game,” said Corbin Carroll, a 22-year-old Seattle native turned Arizona Diamondbacks’ breakout rookie. Look at the young people — they’ve always been here,” said Noah Garden, MLB’s chief revenue officer. Carroll of the Diamondbacks flashed a shy smile describing his first time working with a stylist and first time doing any red carpet event. “It’s definitely not my world but I’m going to try and enjoy it.”___AP Sports Writer Kristie Rieken contributed.
